# Configure an Interaction Instance
An interaction instance is a configurable local roster member with canonical class: interaction and matching tool_policy: interaction. “Tess” may be used as a display alias, but neither that alias nor the stable name is required or authority-bearing.
Use the [validated generic roster](../examples/roster-v2.yaml) as the safe shape. Choose a unique stable `name`, any descriptive `alias`, a supported declared runtime, explicit provider/model/reasoning, and a safe work directory. Start with:
```yaml
name: interaction-example
alias: Interaction Example
class: interaction
tool_policy: interaction
lifecycle:
enabled: true
desired_state: stopped
```
Plan the complete agent payload with the current roster generation, then create it without `--persisted-start`. Creation defaults to enabled/stopped and performs no runtime action. Review the resulting roster and projection plan before any later lifecycle decision.
The interaction class is request/status only. It cannot orchestrate, issue leases, mutate the roster/configuration, grant credentials, certify validation, approve landing, or merge. Connector and channel configuration are outside roster v2; do not add connector, channel, secret, command, remote-host, or gateway fields.

# Configure a Validator Instance
A validator instance is a configurable local roster member with canonical class: validator and matching tool_policy: validator. “Ultron” may be used as a display alias, but it is not a required identity, class alias, product name, or source of authority.
Use the [validated generic roster](../examples/roster-v2.yaml) as the safe shape. Choose a unique stable name and explicit supported runtime/provider/model/reasoning values. Start stopped:
```yaml
name: validator-example
alias: Validator Example
class: validator
tool_policy: validator
lifecycle:
enabled: true
desired_state: stopped
```
Plan the full payload with the current generation and create without `--persisted-start`. Creation writes desired state and projections only; it does not launch a validator.
`validator` may issue independent validation evidence or a certificate. It has no approve-to-land or merge authority. `merge-gate` remains the sole protected merge authority, and changing the validator's name, alias, persona prose, runtime, provider, model, or tool-policy text cannot elevate it.
Certificate consumption and final release evidence remain FCM-M5-002 gates. This page does not create a certificate or authorize merge. See [safe CRUD](create-update-delete-agent.md) and [role authority](../concepts/role-authority-and-leases.md).

# Create, Inspect, Update, and Delete a Local Fleet Agent
Use the local roster-v2 control plane only. These commands change desired state and derived environment projections; they never start, stop, reconcile, inspect, or otherwise act on systemd, tmux, sessions, or runtimes.
## Read and plan first
```fleet-synopsis
mosaic fleet get <name>
mosaic fleet plan create --expected-generation <n> --agent '<json>'
mosaic fleet plan update <name> --expected-generation <n> --agent '<json>'
mosaic fleet plan delete <name> --expected-generation <n>
```
plan create takes the name from `--agent`. plan update and plan delete require the target name immediately after the operation. A plan is deterministic and side-effect free: it validates the complete proposed roster and projection targets without changing files. Use `--dry-run` on `create`, `update`, or `delete` for the same no-write result.
Every successful command prints JSON. `get` returns { "generation", "agent" }; mutation results contain `plan`, `applied`, `authoritativeRoster`, and `projections`.
## Create safely
```fleet-command
mosaic fleet create --expected-generation 7 --agent '{
"name":"coder0",
"alias":"Coder 0",
"className":"code",
"runtime":"pi",
"provider":"openai",
"model":"gpt-5.6-sol",
"reasoning":"high",
"toolPolicy":"code",
"workingDirectory":"/srv/mosaic",
"persistentPersona":false,
"resetBetweenTasks":true,
"launch":{"yolo":true}
}'
```
Create defaults to enabled: true and desired_state: stopped. It does not start a process. Add `--persisted-start` only to persist desired_state: running; that still does not start a runtime in this M2 command. The JSON payload is an allowlist of the roster-v2 fields shown above plus `launch.yolo`; command, channel, secret-reference, and other unknown keys are rejected rather than ignored. The JSON error exposes only a stable code, never the rejected value.
## Update and delete safely
```fleet-synopsis
mosaic fleet update <name> --expected-generation <n> --agent '<complete JSON agent payload>'
mosaic fleet delete <name> --expected-generation <n>
```
Updates require a complete agent JSON payload and preserve the stable name. Delete removes only the exact roster-owned `coder0.env.generated` projection. It retains `coder0.env.local`, legacy `coder0.env`, `coder0.env.quarantine`, and every unrelated projection. A delete dry-run leaves all of those files byte-identical.
## Handle generation conflicts
Every mutation requires the current authoritative `--expected-generation`. A stale value returns JSON error.code: "stale-generation" with a non-zero exit. Reload with mosaic fleet get <name> or reread the roster, plan again using the returned generation, then retry. A concurrent mutation returns `concurrent-mutation`; do not force or bypass the lock.
## Interpret partial failures
The roster is authoritative and is written before derived projections. A late projection I/O failure returns non-zero with redacted, actionable JSON:
```json
{
"applied": false,
"authoritativeRoster": "committed",
"projections": "incomplete",
"recovery": {
"code": "projection-apply-failed",
"action": "regenerate-projections-from-roster"
}
}
```
This is not a rollback and not a no-op: reload the roster because its generation and membership were committed, regenerate projections from that roster, then plan a new mutation. Recovery output never contains environment values, credentials, or command text.
## Exit and boundary behavior
Handled validation errors and partial projection failures exit non-zero. `plan`/`--dry-run` and normal mutation JSON make the state explicit; scripts should use both the exit code and `authoritativeRoster`/`projections`, not `applied` alone.
The commands operate only on <mosaic-home>/fleet/roster.yaml, the local roster desired-state authority. They do not accept arbitrary commands, channels, secrets, remote/connector actions, migration/canary actions, or runtime lifecycle operations.

# Customize Fleet Roles
Mosaic resolves persona contracts through two layers:
1. fleet/roles/<canonical-class>.md — seeded baseline contract.
2. fleet/roles.local/<canonical-class>.md — operator override or custom role; this layer wins.
The same shared resolver is used by profile validation, provisioning, roster-v2 semantic validation,
and launch-time persona injection.
## Override a baseline role
Create a readable Markdown contract under `roles.local` with the canonical filename and class marker:
```markdown
# Code — local role definition
The local code role (`class: code`) follows the operator's repository conventions.
```
Save it as `fleet/roles.local/code.md`. Do not edit generated or seeded baseline assets when the goal
is a durable local customization.
Legacy aliases canonicalize before lookup. Therefore `roles.local/implementer.md` does not override
`code`; use `roles.local/code.md`. See [Legacy Fleet Class Aliases](../migration/legacy-class-aliases.md).
## Add a custom class
A custom class remains supported when a readable contract exists for the exact identifier:
```markdown
# Release notes — local role definition
The release-notes role (`class: release-notes`) prepares operator-reviewed release copy.
```
Save it as `fleet/roles.local/release-notes.md`, then reference class: release-notes and a matching
tool_policy: release-notes in roster v2. Adding only a `LIBRARY.md` row is insufficient.
Names such as `worker`, `analyst`, and `canary` are not built-in aliases; they need genuine custom
contracts. agents[].alias, Tess, and Ultron are display names and cannot select a class.
## Validation and authority boundaries
Semantic validation reads the winning contract and rejects missing, unreadable, or empty files.
Protected authority is derived from canonical class metadata in code, never from role prose. A custom
contract cannot claim merge, validation-certificate, orchestration, lease, or interaction authority.
Roster v2 also fails closed when a protected class and tool policy do not match after canonicalization,
or when an unprotected class claims a protected tool policy. The legacy `operator-interaction` policy
canonicalizes to `interaction`.
Role customization does not issue leases, store validation certificates, mutate credentials, or
change lifecycle state.

# Safely Reconcile and Control a Local Fleet Agent
Use the canonical local roster-v2 command surface:
```fleet-synopsis
mosaic fleet apply --expected-generation <n> --dry-run
mosaic fleet apply --expected-generation <n>
mosaic fleet reconcile --expected-generation <n>
mosaic fleet start <name> --expected-generation <n>
mosaic fleet stop <name> --expected-generation <n>
mosaic fleet restart <name> --expected-generation <n>
mosaic fleet status [<name>]
mosaic fleet verify
mosaic fleet doctor
```
Start with `--dry-run`. It validates roster semantics, deterministic projections, private managed paths, exact holder ownership, and named-socket state without changing files or lifecycle state. Explicit `apply` and `reconcile` rebuild derived projections and enforce persisted roster state: enabled `running` agents may start, while stopped or disabled agents are not started. This guarantee does not extend to reboot/service activation yet; boot preservation remains an FCM-M3-002 hold.
`start`, `stop`, and `restart` are explicit one-shot exact-service actions. They do not persist a lifecycle change. `update` preserves the agent's existing lifecycle, and no delivered operation changes durable lifecycle after creation.
Every command prints JSON. Observation commands report drift without mutation; `verify` exits non-zero on ownership mismatch, unmanaged sessions, or drift. A failed apply that wrote some derived projections reports projections: "incomplete" with bounded recovery to regenerate from the roster. A lifecycle failure after projections reports incomplete lifecycle work; it is never represented as a rollback or no-op.
These commands are local only. Remote/SSH/connector entries are inventory/validation-only. Commands do not accept arbitrary runtime commands, channels, secrets, generated-file desired state, or arbitrary tmux sockets.
